K-60 Question

02-02-2013, 12:01 PM

I do not currently own a K-60, but I was wondering if it would make a closet bend / low heel or san tee / comby into the main? Assume old cast iron and no roof vent access for arguments' sake. What do you guys think, and if it won't, what would you use? (cheapest, fastest, cleanest for the customer's sake)

Thanks!

Yes but this can be tricky until you get it right. The sectionsl is great for this because you can instantly start stop it while applying pressure. Sometimes you need to go in foward or reverse when doing it so your cutter will "climb"down into the main.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

I will take you up on that offer Rick. From all of the positive feedback I have read on other threads I am really interested in seeing what this machine is capable of. Will you be at the Ridgid booth or a different one?

I ordered mine last year I had never used one or even seen one in person I bought the 7/8 and 5/8 kits and haven't regretted anything about the purchase except that I hadn't bought it sooner..you won't be disappointed with your purchase seanny.

This is funny. I had bought a used k60 suit case unit 4-5 years ago. And a few months ago bought a new stye k60. I have used it about 30 times now and wish I had done it sooner. I will still need my k-7500's and my K-750's and my jetter's
But the k60 is saving my body

It took me about a year of using the k60 before I realized, I didn't need the k7500 in the truck too. Now it's been a good 5-6 years of k60 use and still going strong. My drum machines are sitting at the shop waiting for the k60 to break down. Problem is it hasn't been down for more than a day, and if it does go out, I have 2 new ones waiting to step in.

Sure my k60 gets a relief from my k50 and 1.25" timberwolf, along with my jetter. But its also done thousands of lines with a 99% success rate.

Are there any doubters still left? Can we close the drum

Rick.

phoebe it is

Rick, what is the advantage of your timberwolf setup over the k-1500 or even the k7500 for that matter?
